Hi jiminy,
Well, I think I understand layers pretty well when I'm working with raster and vector layers for flyers, brochures, and working with different graphic images, but once it switches to masks and photographs... well, I just don't get why a mask is different than a layer and why a mask is needed when, can't a regular ole layer do the same thing? Which leads me to think I just don't know what is different about a mask. It all turns into one big swirling circle of a thought process! Was that clear as mud?
